| Uzbekistan Post 1497 of 1499 Since 2/21/2006 | How soon could a Japanese shrine be set up in Pearl Harbor area after WWII?? Within about 6 years. http://www.midweek.com/content/columns/justthoughts_article/the_shinto_shrine_near_pearl_harbor/ After the Pear Harbor attack, federal officials closed it and sent its priest back to Japan. But by late 1947, its adherents started it up again, without any fanfare or New York mosque hollering and posturing. Then a year later, federal officers raided it, shut it down, and Washington confiscated the property as alien-owned. The law firm Robertson, Castle & Anthony filed suit against U.S. Attorney General Tom Clark, the state of Hawaii and the Federal Alien Land Office. The case was heard in federal court May 18, 1950, and the ruling was that Uncle Sam had to return the land and back off. The high priest, Misao Isobe, was allowed to come back from Japan in 1952 as the Shinto leader. |
